We were discussing bandwidth and he was extolling the virtues of firewire. I said it was a fine external bus because of PnP, hotswap etc and somehow he didn't think that PCI was faster.
It's hard to argue with someone who makes non-statements like " but it must be faster because Multimedia professionals use it"
??? He couldn't explain the relevance between the two statements and was happy to get sidetracked on that.

I'll be happy to point him to this thread. coz I was right

Thanks guys!
